上海世博园

After the conclusion of Expo 2010 Shanghai, the iconic "One Axis and Four Pavilions" were preserved in Shanghai, namely the Expo Axis, Shanghai Art Museum (China Art Museum, former China National Pavilion), Expo Theme Pavilion, Expo Center and Expo Culture Center (now Mercedes-Benz Arena). The former Saudi Arabia Pavilion and Italy Pavilion (now Shanghai Italy Center) were also retained, and the Saudi Arabia Pavilion was renamed "Moon Boat". In addition, several former African pavilions were renovated into Chocolate Happy Land, a family-friendly attraction perfect for parent-child visits. Different from the grand occasion in 2010 when visitors had to queue for hours to enter popular pavilions, the current Shanghai Expo Park is much quieter. Except for Shanghai Art Museum (China Art Museum) which receives a large number of tourists every day, the other pavilions do not have many visitors on ordinary days. Shanghai Art Museum (China Art Museum) has 4 floors and 27 exhibition halls. It houses nearly 10,000 collections covering all stages of the development of Chinese fine arts in the 20th century. The must-see highlight here is the dynamic version of *Along the River During the Qingming Festival*, where you can also get a glimpse of the customs and lifestyles of Shanghai across different eras. The Expo Axis is a huge standalone project in the Shanghai Expo Park. According to the master plan for the post-Expo utilization of Shanghai Expo Park, the Pudong section will be fully preserved, and the Expo Axis will be transformed into a comprehensive commercial center that provides supporting services such as transportation, leisure, catering and entertainment for people staying in surrounding hotels, working in office buildings and visiting various pavilions. The former Expo Theme Pavilion will be converted into an exhibition and event venue for various exhibitions, large conferences, business activities, cultural performances and sports events. The Expo Center will be built into an international conference center, while the Mercedes-Benz Arena serves as a large-scale comprehensive performing arts venue, where you can not only host large concerts, but also enjoy ice skating rinks, cinemas and other entertainment facilities, with catering outlets available if you get hungry. In addition, the exhibition items of Moon Boat (former Saudi Arabia Pavilion) include the rooftop garden, treasure theater and art corridor, which retain the exhibition content of the Saudi Arabia Pavilion during the World Expo, fully presenting the history, culture and customs of Saudi Arabia to visitors. The design of Shanghai Italy Center is inspired by the traditional Shanghai game "pick-up sticks", which is composed of 20 irregular, assembleable functional modules representing 20 regions of Italy. The whole pavilion is like a miniature Italian city, full of traditional Italian urban elements such as alleys, courtyards, paths and squares. There is no need to rush when visiting the current Shanghai Expo Park. You can slow down, take your camera, and record every scene at your own pace. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and bring some water and snacks during the tour, as there are not many convenience stores in the park at present.
